RJ, A long time ago a VP rep told me the price of Race fuel was tied to the Chemical market not the crude oil market. Guess that applies when they want the price high..

I'm getting a drum this week. I don't think much has changed price wise.

Refining companies came under scrutiny some years ago for potential price gouging. This is not what VP is doing but they kinda are. They WILL make more money if crude is down because they can buy all the blending components based on market prices. It doesn't cost near what they charge to make the different blends they produce in general. What we are paying for is their research and engineering that goes into the different blends of fuel.
